Pro Comes with security included
Includes authorization and authentication with multiple backends.
Pro Offers templating for type-safe, well-formed content
While not required, Yesod offers templating through a Shakespearean family of languages to produce page code.
Pro Uses type-safe URLs

Pro Can be used without knowing much Haskell

Cons
Con The great number of options it offers can become intimidating
One of Pyramid's greatest drawbacks is that it requires a lot of set up in the beginning of a project. This can feel overwhelming and can keep people away from using it.
Con Is hard to customize
Learning how Yesod works internally is hard. It is a large framework with complicated components. Finding the appropriate code and understanding how it contributes to the framework is difficult, meaning developers will struggle.
Con Too much template haskell
You actually want to code in haskell and not some DSL with "magic" hidden under the bonnet.
